WHAT COSTS MORE PER YEAR THAN THE IRAQ WAR?

I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of the following facts:

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77

2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two-and-a-half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIP...12/ldt.01.html

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report. http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12. The National Policy Institute, "estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period." http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.o...eportation.pdf

13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm

I guess it pays to be an illegal alien!!!

Because I moderate in this room, figured I probably ought to check. The snopes link you provided has to do with illegals and credit cards Orlan, does not verify the information you posted, but it would not really surprise me if those numbers were not overly exaggerated.

It could be, but if it were more than $5.00, it is too much as far as I am concerned!

We don't watch what this is costing at all, that is a huge problem!!

Oh I agree with you on this all the way Orlan. It is a huge problem that needs to be dealt with.

One of my favorite sayings:

Calling someone illegally in the country an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist".

OJR what was the name of the bill?

Let me do some checking!

We should pass a law that any illegal alien convicted of a violent crime or second felony drug offence would be publicly executed on the day of sentencing.

I don't think you would have to tell the rest of them to leave, the criminals anyway.

[scotman]

Let me do some checking!

Thanks I looked for it and couldn't find it through google.

Johnf I agree something needs to be done. Both my aunt and uncle and now my brother are border patrol agents. My brother just went through all the tests and takes the pt test today. I was talking with him about the amount of money illegal aliens are costing the taxpaying americans. I know down south for a fact they are collecting welfare and working at the same time. Some of them are even getting two welfare checks and working fulltime. They just are using fake id and birth certificates under different names.

It all stems from not having their finger prints on record..If they where required to be fingerprinted then it would stop alot of it. So say someone does go for public assistance they have to have there fingerprint on record in order to collect. They do have fingerprint scanners where it could check a database and match up all the information.

[stevebeilgard]

pretty heavy, orlan. even if not "right on" with figgures, i'll bet they are pretty close.

[scotman]

The US-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement. Im not sure if thats the one you are talking about but that is the only thing I could find.

[Texan_Til_I_Die]

I vaguely remember hearing something about SS benefits for illegals passing the Senate, but I believe it died a quick (and deserved) death in the House. It did not become law.

Very good point!!! In all honesty, MEXICO costs us far more than IRAQ. Factor in NAFTA, and all of the jobs that flew across the border, and it's pretty obvious a big part of our floundering economy is due to Mexico as well as Iraq.

I'll also add that the amount of $$$$ that hospitals are losing due to being required to provide care for these illegals, and never being paid is astranomical, and has forced a handful of hospitals in CA to close because they're overrun with non-paying illegals that they are required to provide a service for. Kind of like me going to Wal-Mart and getting a cart full of groceries and then leaving without paying, except that would be considered STEALING!!!! Unfortunately, it's not seen the same way when it's "stealing' healthcare, but at the dollars and cents of running a business it certainly IS!!!

[davetucker]

i guess what i don't understand is if they are illegal and we don't want them why are we and how are we paying them.If you or i went into the social security office and singed up without proper documentaion we wouldn't get it.and on another note that hipocrite(sp)new york prostitute lover,adulterer,scumbag wanted to give them drivers licences,like said before how do they get all this without 2 pieces of i.d.???We wouldn't!!
